Where would one find this blank? It is abalone shell. I've seen the ones with the strips, but the customer is wanting one like this. And if so, what would the price be? Thanks!

Hi, if you've got about 3hrs to spare you could make your own.
I've made several that have sold well. If you have trouble getting some let, me know and I'll look if I've got enough Paua chips to make some for you.
Regards
Kryn

Long ago ... I bought inlay sheets of abalone shell, glued to tubes, and cast them in resin.
I think I got them from "The Inlay King" or "Duke of Pearl" (<--- yes, thats him)

Ablam is the stuff I bought -- swirly paua laminated sheets for guitar inlay.

The chip blanks are nice. Both make beautiful blanks.
Too darned expensive to buy as blanks, for me, though.
